here is a photo of snail (SLUG) damage to the lower vine of a clematis. (happens to be my tie dye from yesterday..gggggggggg) they srtip the outer green flesh form the vines at the bottom. i'll past what the result to the vine looks like now.
that is earwig damage in the photo you posted domijita......if you get them now, they will not chew big holes in the side of the buds. they wait till the buds are very big before munching their way in to ruin the bloom.
anyway here is the slug damage form below where they damage the vines.
